Default Cub Cadet 1541 Trunion wear
I finally found the trunion on the beast and when shifting forward the trunion still can be manually pushed another 1/2". Will try adjusting the threaded shift rod first as those C-clips look like a nightmare to get at. I noticed that the springs are not centered inside the plate. Is that plate going to require shimming to center it?

I had the same problem with one of mine. I put the butt end of a 2x4 against the edge of the curved, horizontal plate and hit the 2x4 a couple times with a hammer until the springs were centered.
Your results may vary.

Default Thanks
I ended up buying new springs and end caps for the trunnion and have them installed. Have yet to see how it works because the machine is all over the garage. Thanks

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
